About the Item
Casein on board
In American art circles in the second decade of the twentieth century, Cramer was an early emissary of European modernism. Born in Wurzburg, Germany, in 1888, Cramer studied art at the Karlsruhe Academy from 1906 to 1908 and with Ernest Schurth in the following year. He moved to Munich in 1910 and he began to see works by Europe's foremost cubist painters, Pablo Picasso and Georges Braque. He lived in Munich in the months leading up to the emergence of the Blaue Reiter group and found inspiration in the work and ideas of Wassily Kandinsky, Franz Marc, and others. The Blaue Reiter artists felt one must break with tradition and paint from "inner necessity." They believed that realistic representation of the world was no longer the sole aim of art-instead, expression of one's emotional responses to the world took precedence. These emotional qualities found expression in abstract forms and shapes and strong colors.
Cramer brought this philosophy with him when he he immigrated to the U.S. in 1911 and was an emissary of modernism to many of the artists he met, especially in the Woodstock Artist Colony where he settled.
Many of Cramer's paintings from his first decade in America are almost purely abstract-he began a pioneering series of non-objective paintings before the important Armory Show of 1913. Konrad Cramer's works from this early period are of immense relevance to the development of American Modernism. His work in the ensuing years would became influenced by the growing Modernist community around Stieglitz's 291 and in the artist colony at Woodstock. The brisk and fertile years marked by Cramer's arrival in the United States is among his most sought-after periods.

Yet, his work, whether or abstraction or representation, was inspired by a keen sense of place--in this case, Monhegan Island, Maine, where he returned year-after-year to paint. Many of his works were inspired by the tidal pool and eddies he studied on the island's shore. His work can be found in the National Museum of American Art at the Smithsonian, the Metropolitan Museum, the Carnegie Museum, The Brooklyn Museum, the Jewish Museum, Bates College in Lewiston, Me, Vassar College...Category

Through the use of repeating geometric patterns enhanced by different color theories. A hallucinatory visual field is created. Thus forcing the viewer's perspective to be pushed into a moment of visual confusion. According to theories in Neuroplasticity, these perspective shifts are catalysts that have the potential to rewire neural pathways and ultimately affect thinking and behavior. Being self-taught DOT leaned into his understanding of scientific concepts and techniques to develop his artistic explorations. In his most recent body of work, a surgical repetition of shifting color fields reflects his curiosities in the space of visual perception. These lines tend to create a static movement...Category
